DW,
Just walk through the authorization steps - if you don't have an
internet connection, use the phone.
I have done it many times. The only thing they want to know is how many
machines your copy is running on - if the answer is 1, they will
authorize it. It sometimes takes a bit of effort, but it gets the job
done - and legally.
I have done it several times when a motherboard or hard drive has died -
in addition to my own 5 XP machines, I maintain 10 XP computers on our
church network, and I have had to re-load XP several times over the past
few years - the process may be a bit lengthy, but never any real problem.
While Ubuntu is a viable alternative, there are several applications
that I like (Ham Radio Deluxe for instance) that will not work on
Ubuntu, so I stick with Windows 2K and XP.
73,
Don W3FPR

Hello,
Thank you for all of the great responses I have received.
The copy is not an OEM specifically for one machine. I'm not trying to use
it on two machines at the same time, my old one broke. It gives me a message
that I have 30 days to register it before it stops functioning.
